Congruence preserves both shape and size; corresponding vertex order records which parts match.
Use SSS, SAS, ASA/AAS or RHS with the correct included-angle or right-angle conditions.
Similarity preserves angles and uses one common factor for corresponding lengths.
A diagonal can turn a quadrilateral claim into a congruent-triangle argument.
Rigid transformations preserve congruence; equal-factor enlargements preserve similarity.
Algorithms need complete decisions. Digital measurements test a claim but are not a universal proof.
